The Story
Interview Island is a protected wildlife sanctuary best known for a population of feral elephants, descendants of animals once used for logging, along with deer and a variety of birdlife.
General tourist access is restricted to protect the habitat, so most people only see it from a passing boat rather than setting foot on the island.
Location
Interview Island Wildlife Sanctuary, off Mayabunder
How to Get There
Boat trips from Mayabunder can pass by the island's coastline; landing requires special Forest Department permission, generally reserved for research purposes.
Travel Tips
- Set expectations for a coastal viewing trip rather than a landing excursion
- Bring binoculars for the best chance of spotting wildlife from the boat
